The Lodge
-- Located in The Great Bear Rainforest --
**ST Note** At this time there will not be a channel dedicated to this. This is not where the main play will take place. It is considered to be fully staffed and always booked months in advanced. Even when there is not snow on the ground they always have vacationers, hikers, etc. There is always something to do and people staying. You are welcome to have Kin and the occasional shifter on payroll, but it will not be a main source of play**
--Located in The Great Bear Rainforest--
Marking the start of your journey is a large log sign atop two impressively large red-wood pillars that reads "Spirit Bear Lodge" just behind and branching off from the pillars to the sides is a large rock wall fencing that vanishes into the rolling snow and seems to never end. In front of it is a gorgeously decorated gate with bears and other wild life upon it that will open as you notice to the right, a keeper who offers a friendly nod and smile from the warmth of the small log cabin like security shack lets you in.
The Lodge is located atop the crest of a mountain with an impeccably well maintained road leading up to it. Surrounded by beautiful lighting and trees that are decorated with icicle lights all along the route, you can see the occasional wolf, fox, or other wild life may be spotted along the way hidden in the tree line and almost seems to be watching you to ensure a safe passage along the way and to the destination itself.
Once at the top you pull into the carport where a valet will take your car, after you have unloaded your belongings, to go and park it in the garage allowing you the ability to head on into the Lodge itself. A large set of wooden double doors, the left with a wolf's head, the right with a bear's head, open forth to a bright and open welcoming entrance.
Staff and carts are on hand to help you with your bags while a smiling face greets you at the desk to handle your check in from prior registration, it is here that there are options for where you will be housed.

The Sept
**ST Note** This is where the main portion of the play will occur and be centered around #FOI.Sept **
Upon first appearances this is a ski-resort / vacation lodge for people of the public to spend their time at which is funding the sept that is located roughly forty miles from it, although there are several easy ways to get there.
All of the property is owned by one owner and is surrounded on three sides by crown property.
Set back many many miles away from the main lodge and away from the skiing and hiking trails (40 miles past the trails) the sept can be located. Although there are a few ways that one might come to be here, the most likely of ways is from the moonpath located in a hidden location in the main lodge itself that few people know of it's location until you are brought through it to the caern.
Please see the Maps page for a full layout.
Each room has
- Television
- Computer
- Internet
- Windows
- Fireplace
- Bathroom
- Shower
- Small Sitting area
Outside Pool house
